Considering Rent has been paid by the company to the landlord since Sept 2015 till date every month, and TAN number has been allotted to the company this month, still the company will be liable to deduct TDS since Sept 2015 and pay the said liability along with interest before 7th Dec 2015? Is there any way to avoid the penalty for non filing of TDS return for the quarter ended Sept 2015 as the TAN number itself was not applied till then?
